Talking Heads - Burning Down The House

Band: Talking Heads
Song: Burning Down The House
Album: Speaking In Tongues (1983)
Genre: New Wave

I feel like I told this story before, but it's a really good one, so I'll tell it again.

I once had a dream that I was helping David Byrne of Talking Heads make an art film. We were in a gigantic warehouse that was painted flat gray. There were large geometric shapes (pyramids, cubes, spheres, etc.) everywhere, but there were minimal shadows. I don't know anything about what the movie was suppose to be, outside of the fact that my job was to get Eminem to recite free verse poetry in the middle of the room.

Eminem either didn't want to do this or wasn't doing it right, so for the rest of the dream I had to try and convince him to do what David wanted him to. It was honestly really stressful, I wasn't a fan.

So yeah, hope you like this song and the fun story about my dream.

You can follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, or even sponsor me on Patreon. No big, do whatever. But yeah, Twitter and Facebook are where I’m most active.

Not only do I love this song, but I don't believe I've ever heard this particular dream. That's absolutely hysterical. How dare Eminem not go along with the program?

That seemed like a perfectly good request - and not a reason to spoil your dream.

What I'm about

I am Noah, king of casual english; One of those bloggers that just doesn't know how to string a proper sentence together to save his life. I really apologize for those of you that will hate that, apparently my honors in english just didn't stick.

I like everything from Satanic Thrash to Top 40s trash, so I'll probably hit on at least one song that you like someday.

Let's be real though, my main pull is Death Metal and Rap, so you'll see a decent amount of that since those are the two industries I mainly follow.

Schedule and Stuff

The posts go live at 12 am EST. If they don't, I probably wrote them the night before and fell asleep before actually clicking on the publish button. It's all good though.

Music wise I mostly pull from what I like. I'm totally open to suggestions in the comments, so if there's some genre you want to hear more of just let me know and I'll do what I can.

Some of this music might be offensive to you. Apologies, but it'll probably happen. Heck, 6 or 7 years ago I'd probably be appalled at what I'm listening to nowadays, haha

I'll try to always tag for language if the song has it though, so you can at least make sure not to listen to if around younger ears if that's something that concerns you.
